Interest Rates:
Last week, interest rates crept up to over 6% for a 30 year fixed mortgage. Though the Fed has been aggressive with the reduction of widely publicized short-term rates, it has not had a similar affect on long-term mortgages, which have actually increased.
On another note, last week the Fed approved the economic stimulus package which included a modification of Fannie Mae-Freddie Mac conventional loan limits. The current ceiling on conventional mortgages in Chicagoland is $417,000. Mortgages higher than this ceiling, labeled as unconventional or Jumbo, are subject to a premium of approximately 1% higher than conventional rates. This change was designed to impact high price areas and is not likely to impact Chicagoland loan limits. We will have more info here in the next several weeks.
